I SCORED THIS NEAR CANTON, OH. THE ETF PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH THE OWNER. AS FOUND, IT POWERED UP NICELY. I WILL ADD MORE FUSING. I WAS NOT SURE THE TUBE WAS AS STRONG AS THE TESTER SHOWED. READ ON FOR MORE. FIRST, SOME PICS.
THE REMOTE. IT WORKS AND DID NOT NEED ANY ADJUSTMENT. IT IS RARE TO FIND THE ORIGINAL REMOTE . NEXT UP ARE FIRST SCREEN SHOTS. IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, THESE WERE FROM FOX 8, CLEVELAND.
THE MAIN AND REMOTE CHASSIS.
DEC. 2011: I LIED ABOUT NOT HAVING ISSUES. I THOUGHT THE PICTURE WAS DARKER THAN USUAL. I HAD TO PUT IT ON THE RIG TO FIND OUT FOR SURE. HERE'S A BETTER CHASSIS SHOT.
I WAS ONLY GETTING ABOUT 16kv AT THE ANODE WHEN I SHOULD HAVE HAS ROUGHLY 22kv. I BEGAN SWAPPING 6HV5 (6HS5) HIGH VOLTAGE REGULATOR TUBES. ONE OF THEM BEGAN REDPLATING. I REPACED SOME CAPS I THOUGHT SUSPICIOUS. NO CHANGE. I BEGAN CHECKING VOLTAGES. ON ONE OF THE PINS (I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH, PROBABLY CONTROL GRID), THE VOLTAGE JUMPED TO WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I FOUND A 1.8m RESISTOR OPEN. REPLACING THAT FIXED THAT.
A COLOR ISSUE CROPPED UP. I WOULD LOSE IT. TAPPING THE CHASSIS WITH A SCREWDRIVER WOULD BRING IT BACK. I RESOLDERED ONE OF THE TUBE SOCKETS AND THE COIL NEXT TO IT. PROBLEM SOLVED.
I HAD TO RESOLDER THE RF INPUT SOCKET ON THE IF BOARD. I THEN REASSEMBLED THE SET, DID PURITY, GRAYSCALE AND CONVERGENCE. THE RESULT IS BELOW.
